AnMal - thought you might like to look at my xcf.

erisian: that's helpful, thank you ! i didn't think you'd have it saved, at least not with all the layers.

It's a very very rare miracle!

wow, proof that for once the universe isn't conspiring against me!

moon paisleys were harder than i expected i have an xcf to look at, i have some basic instructions but i don't get the result i'm after! this is as close as i come and i'm gonna leave it at that - i'll be proud of my fire paisley instead.

That's really really good AnMal. You've got the idea.

yeah? back when i was a teacher's assistant, that's what i would have said in the classroom to comfort kids who didn't quite make it. actually i thought it was at least okay when i had finished it, but when i saw it posted on here i realised i don't like it at all. it doesn't look like a sliver of the moon .

Seriously, I don't think it looks much different to mine so stop running yerself down!

it does look a lot like yours, but not the parts that i liked about yours, if you get my meaning. and i mope as much as i pretty well like, so there!

Mope if you want to but no sweets if you don't eat your dinner!

i did have my dinner - and the sweets, so that won't bite

Darn!

okay, okay, no more moping about the moon paisleys that don't look like the moon. and thanks for sharing the xcf.

You're welcome.
